| Here at Poor Meadows we strive to breed and raise our Mini-Dachshunds with an emphasis on temperament and disposition. Quality family pets is our goal. All of our Dachshunds live in our home, actually they "rule" the house! All of our puppies are whelped in our home with Heidi at their side. Whether they need assistance or give birth on their own, they are not alone. All of our puppies are raised in our home with lots of hands on attention and love. They are spoiled and pampered. They become a part of us and we stay in contact with each and every one of our puppies and their new families. The puppies are well socialized and adjusted. We spend summers at a lovely Maine campground and all the Dachshunds and whatever puppies we have at the time go right along with us. They are the center of attention at "Loons Haven" where they get plenty of extra socialization from adults, children and other dogs. When the time comes for our puppies to go to their new families, they are ready. We are sad to see them go but happy to be sharing this wonderful breed of dogs with other's. "Bred with LOVE, from our home to yours" |

| My dogs live here, they're here to stay. You don't like pets? Be on your way. They share my home, my food, my space. This is their home, this is their place. You will find dog hair on the floor, They will alert you're at the door. They may request a little pat, A simple "NO" will settle that. It gripes me when I hear you say, "Just how is it you live this way? They smell, they shed, they're in the way." WHO ASKED YOU? Is all I can say. They love me more than anyone. My voice is like the rising sun, They merely have to hear me say, "C'mon, time to go and play." Then tails wag and faces grin, They bounce and hop and make a din. They never say, "No time for you," They're always there, to GO and DO. And if I'm sad, they're by my side. And if I'm mad, they circle wide. And if I laugh, they laugh with me. They understand, they always see. So, once again, I say to you, "Come visit me," but know this too... My dogs live here, they're here to stay. You don't like pets? Be on your way. They share my home, my food, my space. This is their home, this is their place. - Author Unknown |
This is an email I received from a Poor Meadows Puppy
Family Member about a petition that she wanted me to
post about. If you click on the link you will be able to
read about the artist who starved a dog & called it art.
Hey, Heidi.
I'm Dianne's daughter, sister to Lionel and Roman.
I just want to say, a friend of mine let me know about
this South American artist who starved a dog in a gallery
and called it art. He has been invited to do it again at
some prestigious art thing, and there is a petition going
around against him and his cruel form of "art." I was
hoping you could post about this, and post the petition
Link, to prevent anymore innocent dogs from dying in
the name of art.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
Thanks again! Sincerely, Margaret Higgins

More Information from Margaret about the
Petition.
Hey Heidi, it's Margaret again. I found more
information on that artist I told you about, I
got it from a facebook group which is also
where I got the petition from. Here it is: In
2007, the "artist"
Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from
the street, tied him to a rope
in an art gallery and began starving him to
death. For several days, the "artist" and the
visitors of the exhibition watched, emotionless,
the shameful "masterpiece" based on the dog's
agony, until eventually he died.
Does THIS sound like art to you?
But this is not all... the prestigious Visual Arts
Biennial of Central America decided that the
"installation" WAS actually art, so Guillermo
Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat his
cruel action for the Biennial of 2008.
I figured you would like more information on
it, and I'm sure you still have the link to the
petition site. Thank you so much and I hope
you can help me stop this cruelty from ever
happening again. NO creature should ever die
in the name of art.
